Tamara Ecclestone hits NYC with an extremely rare Hermes Birkin

Today, for your handbag peeping pleasure, we have Formula 1 Racing heiress Tamara Ecclestone, mixing it up with a very mod black and white outfit combo that includes the coveted Hermes Limited Edition So Black Crocodile Birkin! If you're not familiar with Tamara or her sister Petra Ecclestone Stunt, they're British socialites/models/insanely rich folk who probably buy Birkins like the rest of us buy fro-yo. Coincidentally, Tamara appears to be noshing on a cup of Tasti D-lite in this pic.

Seriously though - how glorious is that matte croc Birkin? Who can focus on Tamara's picture-perfect hair, make-up, and clothing (or that dashing Brit to her right) when that bag is in the picture? And this coming scarcely two months after we featured Tamara toting a gorgeous grey Hermes Crocodile Birkin! Some girls have all the fun. We weren't kidding about the Ecclestones' Birkin-buying habits either - each sister probably owns around a dozen. (We have proof.)

I was just in NYC over the weekend and happened to run into Ms. Ecclestone and her beautiful bag at Celine (where I was purchasing my first luggage tote!!) I had just left an all you can drink champagne brunch so I was bold enough to ask her if I could take a closer look at her bag while we were waiting for our purchases to be processed. She seemed a little annoyed but let me check it out anyway.

Ahhhh!!! Was it as stunning as it looks?!

Yes! Its beauty was blinding. I think my friends were a little embarrassed that I was approaching a stranger and shamelessly admiring her bag, but I felt certain I would never see one of these in person again. Well worth the awkwardness in my opinion :)

She looks nice in this picture. A good thing since she always has a lot going on. Full head of weave, large false lashes, permanent tan…can you believe she is a mere 28…

On the bag…gorgeous but I wish she’d try something else…she looks like a kardashian clone…

I have no idea who she is but that bag is beautiful and I am not one for the patterns of snack skin or crocodile, but this one is exquisite! Thanks for letting me know who she is I had no idea, I think she would be a lot prettier without all that American looking makeup pancaked to her face. I like when women look more natural in their makeup. I would never guess she was British because of all that makeup.
